A reminder of what US President Donald Trump said yesterday about the talks based on his Gaza ceasefire plan. Speaking from the Oval Office, he said Hamas has been making important concessions during negotiations in Egypt.
“I think Hamas has been agreeing to things that are very important,” Trump told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
When Collins pressed on whether the US had any red lines, such as its demand that Hamas disarm, Trump replied, “Well, if certain things aren’t met? We’re not going to do it, but I think we’re doing very well.”
Collins also asked about a report from Axios that Trump had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop being negative and take the win after Hamas responded to his 20-point proposal. Trump denied that Netanyahu had been negative, saying, “No, it’s not true. He’s been very positive. He’s been very positive on the deal.”
“But this is a deal that, incredibly, everyone just came together. They all came together. No, Israel’s been great. They’ve all been good, Kaitlan,” Trump concluded.
“I really think we will get a deal done,” Trump said later.
